Some TV stuff

As you know if you have read my “TV Shows” page, you know that I like to watch a lot of TV. Granted, I haven’t updated that page in months (sad, I know). But I haven’t stopped watching TV! I still watch a lot of TV basically every day. I’m not a TV watcher like the person who lounges on the couch flipping around for hours on end watching nothing in particular. I don’t watch the news, talk shows or late night TV. Outside of a relatively limited dosage of sports (due to living in CR, it’s hard for me to follow sports like I used to), I basically only watch prime-time style shows. Lots of scripted shows, a few reality shows, competition stuff, a few mixed ones (ie, The Ultimate Fighter), etc. I also tend to watch entire seasons all at once as opposed to watching new episodes as they’re released every week.

My problem is that I don’t really like how I ended up laying out that page I linked to above. It isn’t very user-friendly and it just doesn’t work well. I needed a way to blog about TV, but not clog up the main page on this blog all the time. Therefore, I am announcing my first blog spin-off. I don’t really expect any more spin-offs, but you never know. I purchased the domain “dumbtv.org” and I am in the process of getting it set up to be my TV-related blog — There’s nothing at the domain right now. I will be redirecting that link above to the new site and I’ll get a much more comprehensive TV show site set up. Granted it won’t be like… anything extraordinary. It will simply be my thoughts on a lot of TV shows. But at least it will be organized and easier to navigate.

I’ll post more here when it’s set up — I’m predicting a few weeks. Any other TV junkies out there?

w/ you on wire, dexter, bsg, office and 30 rock (oprah ep this season was hilarious)

check out true blood on dvd, it starts slooooow, but gets better. i just finished second season of big love on hbo and while it’s no six feet under or wire, it’s amazing that they’ve created a watchable show about polygamy. it took awhile, but i’ve also come around to fringe — it’s basically an x files rip off, but not as bad as its first few eps indicated.

Have you ever tried to watch Weeds? I saw my first episode last week and burned through (lol, such punaments) the first four seasons pretty quickly; finished the Season 4 finale last night. I didn’t think I’d like the show, but ended up loving it. Like the TV blog idea.

Like you, I love to watch entire seasons at a time. Some great series that I don’t see on your list are: Nip Tuck, Damages, The Tudors, Mad Men, Friday Night Lights….these are just a few — I’m sure I’ll come up with some more.

DVD’s were big on Michael’s Christmas list as he watches whole series on his trips to Europe. So this is what I got him — full seasons of….Dexter, The Shield, 24, Weeds, Nip Tuck, Damages, Mad Men, Sopranos (Season 5 and Season 6). I just know he’s going to love Nip Tuck.

i left you two comments last week but for some reason they never posted. anyway i can’t remember much of what i wrote but i recommend true blood. it starts slooow, but gets better. also, it’s more of a miniseries than a tv show, but check out the state within — it’s basically a british 24, and really good!
